Legislative Home

The California Bowmen Hunters organization was established in May, 1943.

The California Legislative team of volunteer members of CBH/SAA work diligently to protect the interests of every archer and bowhunter in California. This dedicated team addresses many issues, formulating official CBH/SAA positions based on protecting archers and bowhunters.

Official attendance and participation at Fish & Game Commission meetings, submission of proposals regarding mammal, furbearer, small game, fish and fowl regulations are just an example of their active participation in California’s archery and wildlife concerns. Addressing city, county and state regulations regarding the use of bows and other hunting equipment is also closely watched and addressed. Another important aspect of the Team’s function is to work closely with other wildlife organizations. Some of these organizations are "species-specific" or may be a "method of hunting" group. All methods of hunting are important. The protection of the roles all methods-of-take are most crucial in the big picture. Thus CBH/SAA networks closely to protect and offer assistance to all. With a strong emphasis on retaining our rights and proposing new hunting and archery opportunities for all residents of California, we are a proud Team with many accomplishments, thanks to the dedicated efforts of many.
